About Biodiversity, Environmental Management, Sustainability and Technology, MSc - at School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Environment and Sustainability, which for good reasons all the top universities in the world focus on in teaching and research, is also one of the four major strategic areas of our University (CUHK).

In the last decade, the United Nations had announced a global plan to end poverty, protect the globe, and ensure that people live on this planet enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030, performed by 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs are recognised as the actions that in one area will affect the outcomes in another, and any developmental plan must consider the balance between social, economic and environmental sustainability.

Therefore, nurturing the younger generation is one of the keys to assessing global biodiversity, managing the environment, performing technological innovation and delivering of integrated knowledge, and is crucial to the sustainable practices to achieve the 17 SDGs.
